Joyland Casino

Joyland Casino
Playtech
Does not accept US players

Tables
There is only one video feed. At the beginning there are two limit options: £0,10-15 and £1-50. More you play, higher VIP position you get. At about £4000 turned over at the table I've got an extra table with £2-100 limits. And as Victor screen shows there are many more.
To sum up, available table limits:
0,10-15
1-50
2-100
5-300
10-500
20-1000
20-3000
10-5000
5-5000

It's a really nice range of limits. What I like at Joyland (and other Playtech casinos) is that all limits are the same for all kind of bets, moreover the low limit is for a spin (I.e. you can split £0,10 between 10 straight numbers £0,01 each), and the high limit is for a single bet (I.e. there can be 10 numbers bet £15 each).
The ball is alternating each spin.
Dealers change every half an hour, depending on a dealer it's about 15 spins.
Time to place bets: 40 seconds.
Unfortunately the video stream is in most cases poor and sometimes you can't say what number came up before dealer stops the wheel. But with some skills of knowing the wheel layout you can say what number hit. And that's the way for me to gain more time for calculations before next bet.

Documents.
They request four documents:
*ID (both sides)
*credit card (if you used one when depositing money)
*utility bill or bank statement
*signed document that they send to you to approve that all deposits were made by you

I had one problem with documents. I don't keep bank statements and I'm not the owner of the flat I live in, so the last mail I've got from my bank was my new credit card. Of course there were few papers with conditions of using it, so I scanned them all and send to Joyland. Unfortunately they said, that they can't accept it as there is no bank address on it. In reply I said that it's the only thing I have and they cannot expect me to keep old mail. What I received was the same sentence: there must be bank or utility company address on the letter. So I scanned the envelope (there was a PO box address on it) and finally they accepted it.

Withdrawals

We can withdraw with:
*Credit card
*NETeller
*Moneybookers
*ClickAndBuy
*Click2Pay
*MyCitadel
*EntroPay
*Local Bank Payment
*Bank Draft
*Bank Draft Express

We wait about 6-7 days for the money to get on our account (except Wire Transfers which can take up to 12 days).

I had no problems with withdrawal at all, although waiting 6-7 days is a bit annoying.

8/10

Problems
The only problem I had was the lack of bank address on the letter (see documents section).

+great table limits

-poor video feed quality
-strict document rules
-long pending time of withdrawals

(7+6+8)/3= 7

Please, go ahead and write about your experiences with this casino.

This is a fine casino overall, despite the document hassles. They have even called me home without any charge for me to talk directly to casino representative.

They do hold your cashouts some days but they do pay.

More you play, higher VIP position you get

Exactly. I think they perceive that's the way. If you win, they want you to bet at higher-limit tables as they expect you can return money won quicker; also, if you lose, they want you to lose more at the higher-limit tables too. So they give VIP status for both scenarios.

Of course, they always assume they are dealing with losing players, as expected by them.

I agree that this is a good casino
Apart from the usual delays with payouts and processing I.D.
What I was most impressed with,was,after I sent an e-mail requesting removal of Bonuses ,they sent a reply e-mail within 10 minutes stating that my request was done.
I also received a phone call to check I was happy with service!
Nice one Joyland

First update:

Joyland casino does not have flash version (instant play without installation).
It's quite important, especially for Mac users.

Do they have Baccarat tables and if they do what is the betting limits

Rodney

[trylobit]

Hi Natural9!

I've just checked and there are options like: baccarat, mini baccarat, vip baccarat, in running baccarat and progressive baccarat.
The only option with open tables was Mini Baccarat. Limits:
0,50-30
2-100

Sorry but I'm not a baccarat player so I cannot say anything more, these reviews are mostly regarding live roulette.

I hope I was useful.

Casino gives comp. points.
For every £1 wagered you get 1 point.
950 points = £1

I've read that higher VIP level you are better points to money ratio you get.


It seems not much but with my £50 bankroll that I turned over 80 times it's always something.

I dont like their video feed its not that clear and always hang 

[thomasgrant]

Re: Video feed.
And most rng playtech casinos.
Ok, here is a test for you.
I did this test some time ago.
Have a playtech casino open.
And go to live play.
Notice the dealers name and what they look like.
Close the casino.

Try another playtech casino.
And do the same thing.

There is a good chance that it is the same dealer.
On the same table. On the same feed.
Just looks different because your on a different casino.

[trylobit]

@thomasgrant

There is 20 or maybe more casinos that use Playtech software and video feed.
You said "There is a good chance that it is the same dealer."
It will be the same dealer 100%. The only chance that it won't be is that you will exit one casino and enter another at a whole hour or half past (dealers change).

[Ulysses]

The live games I have read about here (nolinks.fouroulette.com/playtechcasinos.htm) are beamed out from two casino studios that are both based in Alderney. That could be why the same dealers are on at the other playtech casinos, it probably just one studio fits all.

[trylobit]

Ulysses.
Yes, one studio feeds all the online casinos, although as far as I know, they are located in Philippines.
